…
Tang Qing left after that.
In the cafe, Luo Nanchu exhaled slowly.
The cafe's temperature was regulated, but her whole body was chilly, as though the blood flowing in her veins was made of ice fragments.
Her brain felt like it was about to freeze completely as well.
To be honest, she was actually unsure how much longer she could last.
She had never been so tired in her entire life.
The feeling of letting anyone trample on her dignity was something that she, with that disposition of hers, was unable to imagine.
Tai Huan would be utterly shocked if she was beside her.
She would be horrified at how Luo Nanchu, who used to have an ego higher than the sky, could turn out to be so lowly right now.
On the sofa, Luo Nanchu rubbed her temples vigorously, trying to fling away the thoughts in her head.
She was thinking about the past again.
That was not good.
She could not chase after the past, for it had already passed. There was no use reminiscing about the past, no matter how easy and happy her life was before.
She was afraid that she would not be able to face reality and would commit suicide if she sank into her thoughts too often.
She really couldn't die now.
She was carrying the weight of several people on her back. If she were to die, her entire family would die along with her.
How could she end her own life when she was the one who had brought this calamity upon the Luo family?
On the table, her phone suddenly rang.
Luo Nanchu's mind went blank for a moment, but she hurried to pick it up when she saw that it was the hospital calling.
"Is anything the matter, Director Xu?"
"Ms. Luo, please remember to pay your father's nursing fees by today," said Director Xu in a genial tone.
Luo Nanchu started slightly and asked, "Aren't there three more days?"
She used to pay the fees at the start of every month. Even though there were still three more days to that date, it was her first time receiving a personal call from him to expedite her payment.
"I heard that you have been undergoing some difficulties recently." Director Xu's voice was as warm as before. "You have to keep in mind that Mr. Luo's nursing fees amount to 5,000 yuan per day. Our hospital is not a charity, so we cannot afford to lose a single day's payment."
"…" So it turned out that he had heard about Fu Tingyuan's revenge on her and was afraid that she would be unable to pay up.
Luo Nanchu balled her hand into a fist. Her voice was slightly tense as she pleaded, "Uncle Xu, you used to regard my father as your good friend when he was still well. Now that the Luo family is in trouble, are you unwilling to sacrifice even a single day's payment for us?"
Director Xu's voice hardened instantly as he responded, "Nanchu, if not for my hospital, do you think that any other hospital in the entire city of Tong City would admit any patient from the Luo family? Think about who you offended!"
Luo Nanchu closed her eyes and inhaled deeply. She then whispered, "I understand. Director Xu, I will pay the fees by the first of next month at the latest. I promise that every single cent will be paid."
"Remember your promise, Nanchu. If you don't pay up by the first of next month, I will throw your father out of my hospital!"
Luo Nanchu did not speak, but hung up immediately. She pressed a hand against her forehead before biting her lip forcefully. It was only after it started bleeding that the intense expression on her face faded. The pain calmed her emotions, which had been on the verge of collapse.
She lifted her head again, her expression once again peaceful. As she looked down at the time on her phone, her gaze darkened. Then, she stood up and walked out of the cafe to hail a taxi.
"Drive me to A&M International."
…
What had once been named "Luoyang Corporation" had long since changed its name to "A&M International" when Fu Tingyuan took over the Luo family. For the past half-year, it had expanded into many businesses, surpassing Luo Juntian's former glory.

He was indeed incomparably outstanding.
He was more remarkable than many.
This should mean that she did have good taste, right?
Luo Nanchu smirked as a mocking expression flitted across her face. She walked toward the front desk and said to the receptionist, "Hello, I'm looking for Fu Tingyuan."
Upon seeing her face, the receptionist froze slightly before recovering swiftly and saying, "Alright, please hold on."
She immediately made an internal call.
After a brief exchange on the phone, the receptionist said with a smile, "President Fu invites you upstairs. He is in the office."
Luo Nanchu's lips curved into a slight smile as she replied, "Thank you."
Luckily, Fu Tingyuan was not lame enough to make her wait for him for the fun of it.
Since he wanted to humiliate her so much, delivering herself to him personally for him to do so should make his anger subside, right?
Luo Nanchu entered the elevator.
After Fu Tingyuan took over from the Luo family, he did not renovate the company. The entire design was still unchanged from before she left.
Luo Nanchu was a bit absent-minded on her walk to the office.
Abandoning one's memories was the hardest thing for a person to do in their lifetime.
Located in the most ideal location in the business district, this building was tied to too many of her past memories.
When she had signed the divorce papers half a year earlier, this was also the place she left him.
A divorce that stripped her of all her personal possessions.
From then on, the Luo family had no connection to this building anymore.
Ding.
The elevator climbed to the highest floor.
Luo Nanchu inhaled lightly and walked toward Fu Tingyuan's office. She knocked on the door.
"Come in."
A rumbling male voice rang out from within.
Luo Nanchu put on a light smile before pushing the door open and entering.
A sumptuously handsome man was seated on a black leather chair in a black and white office. When their gazes met, Luo Nanchu smiled even more charmingly.
"We meet again, Mr. Fu."
A silent Fu Tingyuan looked at her indifferently, evidently setting them apart.
Luo Nanchu walked over and around his desk to stand directly in front of him. Her smile was very sweet as she said, "Nanchu is here to apologize. Nanchu was the one in the wrong last time, so Nanchu is here to accompany Mr. Fu to play whatever game Mr. Fu wants, alright?"
Her smile was really honeyed.
Luo Nanchu was a beautiful woman and looked especially attractive when she smiled.
However, her smile was also lovable and was something that one could never get tired of.
No one could hate Luo Nanchu's smile.
Fu Tingyuan turned his head slightly to look at her.
He remembered how she had stood before him three years ago. Her chin was slightly lifted as she faced him with that lovable and obedient expression while saying he could either marry her or wait for Bai Zhiyan to die.
He still remembered the look in her eyes from back then.
Her eyes and eyebrows were raised, and there was a genuine smile on her face. She had looked exceedingly well-behaved.
It was at that point that he understood that the wickedness of the Luo family ran in her veins.
Fu Tingyuan smiled a non-smile and said mildly, "How do you want me to play with you then?"
Luo Nanchu smiled lightly and half-knelt between his legs.
Fu Tingyuan's long eyes narrowed slowly as he watched her move. There was an ambiguous look in his eyes.
Luo Nanchu pushed back the long hair by her ears and lowered her head to lean closer to his suit pants. From his angle above, he could see her straight chin and thick eyelashes, but not her expression or gaze.
She parted her red lips and bit on the zipper of his pants. When her breath brushed against a sensitive region, Fu Tingyuan's eyes darkened. Instantly, he raised a hand and grabbed her hair.
"Let go," he ordered in a cool tone.
